Rule 4.1

[sovereign]

Tonight, I participated in a battle.
The first battle I've been able to participate in for 4 months.
Because of multifactioning, we were able to set it up as fair and balanced as possible. Get rid of the rule. No one obeys it, no one enforces it, and if they did, the random battle we just had would not have been nearly as fun. Anyone arguing against that, needs to join another faction.

Seriously, enforcing the rule leads to a degenerative play experience. The point of any game is to have fun, and this server's method for doing so is RP. As long as each individual character RPs that individual character in a manner that is interesting and fun for all involved, there is NO PROBLEM. In fact, anything that interferes with that IS a problem. Like enforcing this rule. Of course, we could just create a clone faction (or even just group) of all system owning factions if it comes down to it (I'm not with TAZ, I just have a [TAZ] in front of my name and participate in their events!), but that's basically a huge "Screw you" to the admins, and distinctly unfun, despite being legal if said admins wish for respectable players to bother playing here.

Enforcing the rule = making good people suffer. Don't do it.
